FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE
I adopted this delicious cake recipe from the RecipeZaar account in February 2005. The only changes I made were to add some vanilla and cut back the baking time. Be sure to top it with Recipe #7062, another of my adopted recipes.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
- Add eggs, fruit cocktail and vanilla and mix all ingredients well (by hand--do not use electric mixer); batter will seem very thick at first (if you use good fruit cocktail that has mostly fruit, not all juice), but this is the way it should be (the juice in the fruit cocktail is the only liquid in this recipe except, of course, the eggs).
- Pour into a greased 9 inch x 13 inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
- This cake is best with Fruit Cocktail Cake Icing #7062.

FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE (FROM A CAKE MIX)
This delicious cake comes together fast, starting with a cake mix. I think the flavor is very subtle, and the cake is quite moist. The original recipe had a syrupy sweet icing on it, but I added the coconut/brown sugar on top instead, and I think it makes this a nice snacking cake. (*NOTE: I used a fruit cocktail I've found that has guava, mango, etc., and found the pieces a little large, so I chopped it up a bit before adding to mixture. The regular fruit cocktail with grapes, etc., should be fine w/o that)

Steps:
- Preheat to 325*.
- Combine cake mix, fruit cocktail with juices, 1 cup of coconut and eggs in a large mixer bowl.
- Blend, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into greased 9x13 pan, or two 8x8 pans.
- Sprinkle batter evenly with remaining 1/2 cup of coconut, and then 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
- Bake at 325* for 45 min (if 9x13 pan; about 30-35 min for two pans).
- Serve warm or room temp; stays moist for several days.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, sweet fruit for the best flavor in your cake.
- If using canned fruit, drain it well and pat it dry before adding it to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter, which can make the cake tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake according to the recipe instructions, and don't overbake it. An overcooked cake will be dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

With its vibrant colors, sweet flavors, and moist crumb, fruit cocktail cake is a classic dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
